the zipper foot onto the shank.
3. Fold the edge of the material 2 cm (3/4") and place the zipper
under the folded portion.
4. Lower the needle into the notch located either on the left or right
side of the zipper foot.
CAUTION
Turn the handwheel to make sure the needle does not strike
the presser foot. If another stitch is selected, the needle will
strike the presser foot, causing the needle to break, possi-
bly leading to injury.
5. Sew from the bottom of the zipper toward the top on both sides.
The needle should be positioned on the zipper side of the foot
for best results. (See
fig. B
)
6. To sew the opposite side of the zipper, release the foot by
pressing the button located at the back of the presser foot
holder, install the zipper foot on the other side of the zipper and
continue sewing using the other side notch.
CAUTION
Make sure the needle does not strike the zipper during
sewing. If the needle strikes the zipper, the needle may
break, leading to injury.
